2 Cor 5:10 says "We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." "All" in that verse refers to both dead and living people. My question is where the dead people, especially believers, wait before appearing the judgment seat of Christ? Verse 8 reads, "We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord." Does this verse imply that when we die we immediately fly to the Heaven where our Lord dwells? If so, why do they need any resurrection? But the Bible says, "Each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:23). This verse implies the dead Christians are not yet with the Lord because they must wait for their resurrection. Note that Jesus, until resurrected, didn't go to God the Father yet. In conclusion, when we die, where are we going? Is it wrong to say that in a funeral the dead person is already in the heaven? | ||||||

2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The word “with” the Lord, in the Koine Greek, is (PROS) in the accusative case and would read better if the English said “face to face” with the Lord. We will have some sort of an interim body but we don’t know much about it from Scripture. EXAMPLE, Rev. 6:9-10 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? These haven’t received a glorified body as of yet, i.e. no rapture yet, and as a result the wrath of God hasn’t happened yet but they are sure anxious for the Lord to avenge them for what is taking place on the Earth that got them killed. The problem is likely the result of the same kind of treatment as those received in, Rev. 12:9-12 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. CDBJ |
